NOTE TO FRONTPAGE USERS: Microsoft FrontPage manages all directory and subdirectory permissions on your Web site. If you created custom directories on your Web site, or you are using another tool to build and or manage your Web site, switching to FrontPage may cause some difficulties. It overwrites all of your directory permissions and may make your site unusable. For example, if you have Value Applications installed and then install FrontPage Extensions, your Value Applications applications will likely not work. If you have FrontPage Extensions activated in your Hosting account, you will not have access to the Permissions feature in the File Manager section of the Hosting Control Center
